Despite everything that’s happened with the U.S. labour force since the start of the pandemic and up to now, remote work has remained a consistent working model and that’s not likely to change even as the economic climate shifts yet again, says Joseph Boll, RemoteWorker.jobs CEO.

Remote Worker is an online jobs board and resource website for remote workers, remote work jobseekers, and hiring managers, employers and HR personnel seeking to recruit and hire the top talent for remote positions.

The organization’s CEO pointed out that remote work existed from before the pandemic struck and brought it into the mainstream. Even now, three years into the pandemic and as the World Health Organization (WHO) weighs the possibility of declaring its end, remote work is still incredibly popular among the workforce throughout North America and the United Kingdom. U.S. workers have consistently ranked remote work opportunities as their top choice for working arrangements, and remote jobs continue to attract the most jobseekers. At the same time, even as some companies attempt to force remote employees to return to physical offices, many workers have threatened to quit their jobs rather than go “back to normal”.

“But efforts to push remote work back into obscurity won’t work,” says Boll. “We’ve seen some big-name companies try this and utterly fail because employees have already seen the many benefits of flex work and refuse to go back to working in ways that don’t work out for them — and rightly so.”

High-profile companies like Elon Musk’s Twitter initially joined the push for workers to return to office, but soon backtracked that decision. Now, thousands of Disney workers are railing against new efforts to enforce return-to-office (RTO) mandates, further showing that American workers are serious about keeping remote work a permanent part of the way they work, for part of the time at the very least.

“People are still quitting outright or ‘Quiet Quitting,’” Boll notes, “while remote jobs are more popular than ever. In the meantime, HR professionals and recruiters are scrambling to offer flexible work because of the high demand, and productivity experts are recommending businesses incorporate flex work to improve employee engagement and morale. The signs are clear — the pandemic may be ending soon, but not remote work.”
